Subject: arm64: hugetlb: refactor find_num_contig()
Patch series "Support for contiguous pte hugepages", v4.
This patchset updates the hugetlb code to fix issues arising from
contiguous pte hugepages (such as on arm64). Compared to v3, This version
addresses a build failure on arm64 by including two cleanup patches.
Other than the arm64 cleanups, the rest are generic code changes. The
remaining arm64 support based on these patches will be posted separately.
The patches are based on v4.12-rc2. Previous related postings can be
found at [0], [1], [2], and [3].
The patches fall into three categories -
* Patch 1-2 - arm64 cleanups required to greatly simplify changing
huge_pte_offset() prototype in Patch 5.
Catalin, Will - are you happy for these patches to go via mm?
* Patches 3-4 address issues with gup
* Patches 5-8 relate to passing a size argument to hugepage helpers to
disambiguate the size of the referred page. These changes are
required to enable arch code to properly handle swap entries for
contiguous pte hugepages.
The changes to huge_pte_offset() (patch 5) touch multiple
architectures but I've managed to minimise these changes for the
other affected functions - huge_pte_clear() and set_huge_pte_at().
These patches gate the enabling of contiguous hugepages support on arm64
which has been requested for systems using !4k page granule.
The ARM64 architecture supports two flavours of hugepages -
* Block mappings at the pud/pmd level
These are regular hugepages where a pmd or a pud page table entry
points to a block of memory. Depending on the PAGE_SIZE in use the
following size of block mappings are supported -
PMD PUD
--- ---
4K: 2M 1G
16K: 32M
64K: 512M
For certain applications/usecases such as HPC and large enterprise
workloads, folks are using 64k page size but the minimum hugepage size
of 512MB isn't very practical.
To overcome this ...
* Using the Contiguous bit
The architecture provides a contiguous bit in the translation table
entry which acts as a hint to the mmu to indicate that it is one of a
contiguous set of entries that can be cached in a single TLB entry.
We use the contiguous bit in Linux to increase the mapping size at the
pmd and pte (last) level.
The number of supported contiguous entries varies by page size and
level of the page table.
Using the contiguous bit allows additional hugepage sizes -
CONT PTE PMD CONT PMD PUD
-------- --- -------- ---
4K: 64K 2M 32M 1G
16K: 2M 32M 1G
64K: 2M 512M 16G
Of these, 64K with 4K and 2M with 64K pages have been explicitly
requested by a few different users.
Entries with the contiguous bit set are required to be modified all
together - which makes things like memory poisoning and migration
impossible to do correctly without knowing the size of hugepage being
dealt with - the reason for adding size parameter to a few of the hugepage
helpers in this series.
This patch (of 8):
As we regularly check for contiguous pte's in the huge accessors, remove
this extra check from find_num_contig.
